1 Moreover, sphingosine perturbed mitochondrial membrane potentials and activated caspase-3 and caspase-9 in MKN-28 cells, which were also inhibited by transfecting with the PKC-delta siRNA. Sphingosine caspase 9 Homo sapiens
2 CONCLUSION: The results of the present study indicate that sphingosine induces apoptosis in well differentiated MKN-28 human gastric cancer cells by increasing SDK production from PKC-delta, to phosphorylate 14-3- 3 protein, thereby causing disruption of mitochondrial membrane potentials and activating caspase-9 followed by the effector caspase-3. Sphingosine caspase 9 Homo sapiens
